.sga 5.01: oh show!

[aesc]

Yay, you're back!

I posted a few caps here in a locked post when the episode sneaked online a few weeks early. Unlocked now! No real commentary tonight, because I usually feel vaguely lame writing commentary, and also, I'm up early to go sailing tomorrow. Nautical!


How to start an episode:




This look, right here, is why I love John Sheppard in this episode so much. I would have his babies if my uterus hadn't combusted, oh, at the beginning of the episode. This look, this moment, is everything that makes him who he is: he respects Carter, but that respect only goes so far, and it stops at that huge, undefinable thing that team is for him.



Santa, Buddha, and Jesus, I want this. Right here. Thank you and sincerely, amen. Paralyzing "oh my god, pregnant woman in labor" awkwardness aside, Rodney was great in this episode--pushing Jennifer to go look at Lorne instead of him, soldiering through repairs, pulling himself together for Teyla, being a soldier to keep her safe. This is why you want Rodney McKay on your side, people.





*ASPLODE*

Overall? I like. I liiiiike.

In other news: Oh, man :/ But still, sailing. I haven't been on a boat in ages.

Between Rodney's biceps (*nibble*) and John's OMGADORABLENESS with the baby. My heart is squeeful with the SGA love.

This is why you want Rodney McKay on your side, people.

Darn right.

*asplodes with you*

That bit with the baby inna jumper was awesomesauce. And I loved Ronon, with his not leaving John and his "You don't have to do everything yourself" and his carrying Teyla. *glee*

The scene with John and the baby in the jumper, jesus, *rubs my heart* Oh show!

A most excellent episode!

::is asploded with you::

I agree with every molecule of your entry. Plus Ronon being all caretake-y of John.

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

*stares at caps some more*

>>This look, this moment, is everything that makes him who he is:

Absolutely!

You know, with 50% of his team (and therefore his chosen family) being at home in the Pegasus-galaxy and now having held Teyla's newborn son in his arms while rescuing the whole team from the heart of enemy territory - by using the enemy's technology, of all things *g* - I sincerely doubt that he'll ever go back to earth permanently willingly. There's nothing back on earth calling to him but *everything* he has is on Atlantis and in Pegasus.

And I can't help but loving the constellation of the newborn, most vulnerable "member" of the core-team being rescued by the team leader utilizing the very "tool" the enemy invented to harvest "food" ... it has a certain beauty to it, doesn't it? *G*

ARMS! And BABY! And John Sheppard being SEX! And Rodney awkwardly delivering Teyla's baby! And ARMS!

So fantastic.

*is jealous*

I haven't been sailing in well over a year. I wants to. Doh.

It's not like I needed another reason to love John, or Rodney for that matter (I thought I was going to cry when he caught Teyla's baby!). But those first 2 pics are basically what it's all about in a nutshell when it comes to Lt. Colonel John Sheppard.

ARMS. Geeze, Rodney's lookin' mighty fine these days.

And...baby! John and baby! That will never not be the sweetest thing ever!

DID YOU SEE RODNEY'S BICEPS IN THE BIRTHGIVING SCENE?

Were there any differences between this version and the leaked one?

Also John in the dart with the baby ... (I have no words)
